Answer

On the box, the iPod 4th Gen is the only iPod named as compatible. Since I have an iPod 5th Gen, I had to verify this for myself. and, yes, It would not work. Ditto with my new 160 GB iPod classic. My iPad 3rd Gen, however, worked just fine and, yes, it was listed as compatible on the box.

This is really a pain in the a** that Apple does not make a digital AV adapter for its latest iPod and iPhone products, I eventually found the iPure i20 which does the job for $129. The only thing is that it's not portable, so scratch the possibility of having a really clean audio source for your portable power amp.
